If the Citation Bot is systemically creating unwanted edits, it may be necessary to pause its activity by placing a block.
(Only admins can do this.)
The bot operates from a number of accounts, so that only problematic edits need be stopped. Please do not unilaterally block all accounts without consideration. Details of what each account does are listed below. Usually a block of CB1 will suffice to prevent problems; it may also be necessary to block CB.
It can be difficult for me to fix bugs when a bot account is blocked. Therefore, if a block is related to a specific bug, it would be helpful if the block summary stated 'Can be unblocked when bug x is fixed' - this allows me to deal with the issue faster by unblocking the bot myself. Obviously, this should only be stated where applicable.
The below accounts are not currently in active use, but may return to service in the future.
